Life is by Mother Teresa

 


Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

The Garden Folk


A garden of flowers

Trees and plants

Cigarette buds and litter

But only at first glance

 

A common place

For folk to enjoy free time

Smoke and eat seeds

Or drink some wine

 

A garden with life

Laughter and tears

A garden with friendship

Shared food and shared fears

 

A place many go

To talk to everyday

A common meeting ground

After being away

 

Where people stop by

To make plans for the eve

But always come back

After their goal was achieved

 

Always at least one

With a cig or a toke

Always in the garden

Are the Garden Folk
